Here's one telling bit: In evaluating the versions of the bill being voted on in the House and Senate, the Congressional Budget Office -- Congress' definitive financial scorekeeper -- never once suggested that subsidy costs would depend on the number of states setting up their own exchanges. If that had been a real possibility for reducing the cost of the bill, Democrats (who were eager to minimize the measure's cost) would certainly have pushed the CBO to tote up the potential savings.

This is clearly and intentionally false. CBO scored ObamaCare with exchanges in all 50 states because they thought the Medicare mandate (found unconstitutional) would force exchanges in all 50 states. The clear democrat intent was to use massive financial sledgehammers to force state participation, and the state-exchange-only subsidies were one of those sledgehammers.

It's inarguable that the process Democrats used to enact Obamacare was ugly.

Ugly? Try un-Constitutional. As I understand it, tax laws must originate in The House, but ObamaDon'tCare originated in The Senate.

By The Supreme Court's own admission, ObamaDon'tCare is a tax law.

'Course I'm not a Constitutional scholar or anything, I'm just pointing what I've heard.

Feel free to disagree.

“As a consequence, the legislation was vetted only by Democrats, which all but guarantees that it will say and do some things they didn’t intend.”

That statement is not only farcical, it is an irrational paradox.

The willful ignorance of the pro - Idiotcare posters never ceases to amaze. And deliver.
